We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72.
As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog.
Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

Where to buy our figures

Here are the latest figures Ingo made for me, This time Bengal light cavalry. The next will be the 19th dragoons for Assayee and afterwards we go for the artillery.
In the meantime I have nearly 100 different figures for this period ready. Another idea would be to make an Indian prince on an elephant as commander of their armies. This would be something for Massimo, eh?

The Spanish infantry general de Fontaine was carried in a Sedan chair at the battle (he was not the youngest).
Sadly the General was killed at the battle and the French took the chair which is now on display in the
Les invalides museum in Paris.
See here Massimos conversions of the command group. And these figures are not just to show around
Michael Cremerius from Germania will produce them and they will be available, hopefully next spring. I could imagine that some collectors would be interested to have this Gem in their collection.

Maybe some of you heard about the small town of Oberammergau because of the Passions-Spiele they celebrate there.

But Oberammergau has beside them and a monastry (which brew interesting beers:-)) a museum of old toys. In the 19th century the town was the center of wooden toy manufactories.

Accidently I stumpled over a flyer in which they described what they had in the town museum and afterwards I jumped into my car and drove to the town (just 30 minutes away from my home).

This here is the most impressing diorama in their collection. It is the attack of the French against the Austrian border village of Scharnitz (again just 40 minutes away from my home). It is in scale 1/32, everything made from wood and the figures are movable. The diorama was a gift to the Bavarian prince Ludwig. As he was no friend of the French, you can imagine he doesn't really liked to play with it.

When reading in books about the campaign of 1805 and 1809 I always wondered what the difficulty for the French and Bavarian was to charge this position as today it looks like this:

With all the existing and already comming ranges of SYW figures (Germania figures Austrians and New line design British) I thought it is time to post some photos Stephan sent me some weeks ago.

This is a fictional battle in the SYW. Usually not my cup of tea, but I like most of the paintjobs and so decided to show them around.

He used some Great Northern war figures too as the units he needed weren't available for the SYW.
Maybe we can change this in the future with the upcomming range of Germania figures.
Austrian Grenadiers are available in resin soon and will then come in metal afterwards. The next idea would be Grenzers. And this is for sure not the end:-))
